Just ordered some Pazzo levers on Ebay. I'm getting the standard length, black levers with gold adjusters. Can't wait to get them! I have the shorty levers on my Honda and think it's one of the best mods I've done. I'll post pics when they're installed.:D

Here's a pic of the shorty Pazzo's, same colors. You can pretty much use two fingers to control clutch and brake.

You can get the levers in gold also, but I thought that would be too much gold on the front end. I do still have the 599 but plan on selling it this summer. I will be hard to let it go, it's such a fun bike, plus the blue book so low. Thats why I didn't trade it in.

I got them from Podium Superbike eBay store for $180 with free shipping. They didn't have a listing for the FZ8, but they're the same lever as a FZ6. The shorties for my Honda cost the same.

I agree, the adjuster being gold brings a small nice touch to the front end to accent the forks. I was thinking the same except doing titanuim w/ gold adjusters. But the bike I ordered is silver/black so it matched nicely.

Im not sure if Ill like the shortys though, this is my first street bike ever and I'm not sure what I will like. I have 15+ years motocross experience, and I always preferred shortys on my bikes... but we will see. Cant wait for my fz8 to come in :)

How did you order a silver/black bike? I thought North America only had the all black option? Do you have a pic of it?

Also, shortys are awsome on street bikes too. I chose to go with the standard length only because of how wide the bars/grips/bar ends are on the FZ8. Plus they have break offs about an inch in, just in case of a drop, it won't bend the lever, just shorten it.

I think your right though. I just found this link and it clearly states that the US can only get it in black. 2011 Yamaha FZ8 Coming to the USA | Dubai Bikers

Not sure if the dealer does not know this or he is able to actually get the silver. Knowing my luck the guy I was dealing with proboly just did not know his stuff. Ill keep my fingers crossed as he did say it would be a special order. I know that the one I looked at on the floor was the black color. Man that silver is sweet looking though!

So I went and got the deal finalized today. Your right I confirmed today that the ONLY color in North America is the black. I was very suprised at how little the dealer actually knew about this bike. Yes I understand its new, but cmon man!
